Jan 10,2020I got tricked into using this "service"!!! When I clicked on the "Pay now - renewal" link in ASIC's renewal emailed notice, it took me to their website - heaven knows how that happened, because both ASIC and these tricksters deny that it is possible to "hack" into a link! I know I should've been more vigilant and investigate this business, but was in a hurry and just assumed that it was the new or preferred ASIC service provider. Paid the exorbitant fee and anxiously had to wait a MONTH, instead of 5 days to get confirmation that my business name had been renewed - that's how long it took them to forward to ASIC the mere $36 of the $139 fee! I have reported this breach of privacy and trust to ASIC. User Be Aware!!

Dec 27,2019If I could give a zero I would. I paid this company to register my business in 2018 and they didn't do it. I found out my name was registered by someone else 2 months ago and I contacted them They claim to have emailed me for my TFN. One email. Never contacted me again but took my money.

Oct 15,2019DO NOT USE THESE GUYS. I paid $299 for three years – found out it's only $85 for three years when you register for ASIC. Of course they won't answer the phone. Tuckfards... I don't know how they get away with it.

Aug 16,2019I would give 0 star if this is possible.The most unprofessional and arrogant people I ever dealt with . I’ve “renewed” my business name with this “ company “ back in 2016 for 3 years and paid $199 / got the invoice / to find that 3 years later in 2019 that my business name has never been renewed !!! What a joke ?! I called the Asic and they confirmed that my business name has expired in April 2016 and hasn’t been renewed since then . I rang the Honcho which is the same business, just different trading name “ businessname.com.au” and asked how this is possible and the guy said that everything is done properly at their end didn’t listen at all what I’m trying to tell him. Stay away from this morons , they are truly liars and only care about to take your money and to charge you over 200% of what ASIC charge for the same service .

Jul 29,2019I have just received a renewal notice from this organisation for a name I never owned. The name was used on a website only. I purchased the domain name only. If it has a Queensland base it is automatically suspect in my eyes.

Mar 18,2019this company is a scam. So I’ve been ripped off. Thought I’d go through these guys to make it easier. I’ve requested a business name search and domain name Registration. They’ve done the business name but haven’t done the domain name. They have my money. They don’t respond to emails or phone calls and hang up on me even when I’m being polite. Scam

Feb 26,2019Pathological lying (also called pseudologia fantastica and mythomania) is a behavior of habitual or compulsive lying. It was first described in the medical literature in 1891 by Anton Delbrueck. THIS COMPANY IS THE TRUE DEFINITION OF LIAR AS PER ABOVE.

Dec 04,2018Complete and utter thieves. Do not fall for this scam, somehow this company can charge more then double the fees to register a business name without informing you of their huge mark up. When they do register your business they put their email address on it so you have to pay their exorbitant fees to re-register. Go direct through ASIC, do not give these thieves a cent.

Jul 17,2018Avoid these guys and purchase directly from the asic.gov.au website. These guys push a 3 year renewal for $200 it's only $89 on the ASIC website. Sneaky and unethical and pray on those who have minimal knowledge. The government should step in and put and end to these sharks.

Dec 06,2017Zero Stars. When your renewal comes around they will neglect to forward you the payment details to stop your business name from being cancelled. Not to mention that they charge twice as much as doing it yourself through ASIC Connect. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE SLACKERS...

Oct 04,2017RIP OFF!! Register your Business name with ASIC and you will save more than half of what you'll pay with BusinnessName.com.

Aug 30,2017This company charges a large amount of money for 3 years and claims they are the same as Asic . To register your business name for 3 years for only $82.00 AUD register with Australia's government site with Asic . Go to Asic connect . Asic is government this is a private company that falsely claimed to me today to be the same as Asic .

Jan 07,2016Clicking on the BusinessName.com.au website cost me more than 200% to become registered than it would have if I had gone direct to ASIC website.
